CHALLENGE EMPOWERMENT RESPECT RESILIENCE

NEWSLETTER NO. 28 MONDAY 9TH SEPTEMBER 2019

DEAR FAMILIES, STUDENTS AND STAFF,

Last week was highlighted by three significant events which showcased our students. 62 of our students competed

at Southern Ranges Athletics. For the second year in a row Euroa Secondary College were again the overall winners

at Southern Ranges Athletics with 41 of our students progressing to Hume Region.

I want to congratulate Eliza Hoare who on Wednesday 4th September was the recipient of

the Australian Olympic Committee Change Maker Program, formerly known as the Pierre

De Coubertin award. The Change Maker program recognises a student for their sporting

achievements across a number of sporting fields. This is a well-deserved award for Eliza

who have been actively involved over the years in a variety of Olympic sports such as

Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country, where she has competed at state level in each of

these sports.

We also assisted with the efforts of Legacy Week, where six of our Year 9 students, Kendra Miller, Jazy

Raleigh, Nick Russell, Peter Bateman, Tegan Kubeil and Ashleigh Fraser helped staff the Legacy Stand

at Burtons last Friday. I wish to acknowledge the community mindedness of the six students who despite

the adverse weather, enthusiastically helped in selling Legacy badges and other products, so that Legacy

can continue to support our veterans as well as their families.

On Saturday, we had our Presentation Ball where 23 couples in Years 10 and 11 graced us with their six

dances. It was a very positive evening and wonderful to see the coming together of our community, where

our couples were supported by 377 family and friends. Each of the 23 couples were presented to the

Official Party, which included our College Captains Robert and Tess, School Council President Mrs Ruth

Nolan, our Acting Assistant Principal Mr Mat Long, our special guests: Ms Steph Ryan Member for Euroa,

Mrs Amanda McClaren Mayor of Strathbogie Shire and me.

It was a true delight to have attended such an amazing evening. I want to thank the Debutant Committee

for their support and especially recognise the immense effort, dedication and commitment of Mr Long in

ensuring the success of the Presentation Ball. Also, I cannot express enough my appreciation to Ms Lucy

Broughton for been our MC for the last three Presentation Balls. Furthermore I wish to thank Ms Steph

Ryan and Mrs Amanda McClaren for taking time out of their busy schedule to attend as well as their

continual extensive support of the college.

This week our Year 10 students will be out on Work Experience, where they get to develop a greater

understanding of the world of work, ideally in a field which they would like to pursue.

A reminder that next Thursday the 19th September 2019 will be our Semester 2 Family Interviews. Family

Interviews provide an opportunity for families to speak to individual teachers to receive feedback on their

child’s progress, achievements and areas of development. Please make bookings to see your child’s

teachers using the following link:

www.schoolinterviews.com.au with the event code: m3ns8

Also, as the temperature will start becoming warmer next term, I encourage all families to start planning

and ordering their child’s uniform needs for the summer months. As we are a Sun Smart school, it is also

a part of uniform all students have a broad brim hat in Term 4.

Please do not hesitate to contact me at the college if you have any inquiries or would like more information

on our upcoming Family Interviews.

Regards,

Harold Cheung

Principal

Year 12 English Update

As the end of year approaches there are a few key dates we would like our Year 12s to keep in mind.

Wednesday the 18th of September will be a full 3 hour trial exam to be held in exam conditions. This will be

onsite here at the College and we are encouraging all student to approach this as a dry run for the big day. Consider

hydration, stationary and dictionaries for this day. Students will have a chance to reflect on what is sure to be an

illuminating experience with their class teacher afterwards. This is a great activity that calms nerves but also makes

students aware of the work that is needed to be done.

Year 12 teachers often run classes in the holiday break. The English staff are offering the following sessions:

Ms McCluskey will be at the school on Tuesday the 24th 12.30- 2.00pm in B8

Ms Tough will be at the school on Monday the 30th 10.00am - 1.00pm in B8

Students from both classes are encouraged to attend one or both of these sessions.

to provide transport to get to after-school jobs, social or sports training etc. Any bus

Euro

Southern Ranges Athletics

On Tuesday 3rd September 62 students travelled to

Shepparton Athletics Centre to compete in the Southern

Ranges Athletics Carnival. Euroa had the largest team of

competitors for any of the schools competing in the Southern

Ranges. Having so many competitors representing the school

meant Euroa Secondary College were awarded the best school

in the Southern Ranges after the day of competition, finishing

with 760 points and the next best school being on 672 points.

All of the students should be very proud of their performances

and the contributions they have made to Euroa Secondary

College winning the Southern Rages Athletics.

There were some exceptional individual performances with

Robert Smith breaking the 16 Year Boys Triple Jump record

with a jump of 11.95m, Eliza Hoare breaking the 18-20 year

Girls 800m record with a time of 3:00.94 minutes and Amelia

Delahey broke the 12-13 Girls Long Jump Record with a jump

of 4.27m. The 12-13 Boys Relay team consisting of Ryan

Hill, Koby Kubeil, Mitchell Walters and Darby Wilson also

broke the record with a time of 55.12 seconds.

Congratulations to these students on these exception

performances.

The next level of Athletics, Hume Region, will be on Thursday October 10th at the Albury Athletics Centre. We

have a team of 41 students who have qualified to compete at this level. We wish them all the very best at the next

level of competition.

Thanks to Mr Schultz, Mr Kidgell, Ms Buchannan and Ms Clignett for taking the students to the Southern Ranges

Athletics.
